The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Aston Villa take on Everton on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent over the past year and will want to win this game.
Everton are in fourth place in the Premier League standings at the moment and have been impressive this season. The Toffees eased past Burnley by a 3-1 margin in their previous game and will want a similar result from this match.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table and have not been at their best this season. The home side suffered a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
